Abstract

The brake light system has a pair of cooperating electrical contact springs associated with the brake pads of the bicycle wheel brake, which are coupled to an electric battery contained within a rear brake lamp housing, so that the battery circuit is closed for operation of a 9V brake lamp when the contact springs are bridged via the rim of the braked bicycle wheel.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bremsleuchtensystem für Fahrräder.The invention relates to a brake light system for bicycles.

Durch die DE 297 12 687 U1 ist bereits ein batteriebetriebenes Bremsleuchtensystem für ein Fahrrad bekannt, mit einem Bremslichtgehäuse mit Batteriefach und einer Felgenbremse mit zwei Bremsbacken.DE 297 12 687 U1 is already a battery-operated brake light system for a bicycle known, with a brake light housing with a battery compartment and Rim brake with two brake shoes.

Die elektrische Kontaktgabe erfolgt dort innerhalb des Bremsklotzes, so dass handelsübliche Bremsklötze nicht zur Anwendung kommen können.The electrical contact is made within the brake pad, so that commercially available brake pads cannot be used.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Bremsleuchtensystem für Fahrräder zu schaffen, bei dem handelsübliche Bremsklötze weiter eingesetzt werden können.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a brake light system for bicycles, in which commercially available brake pads can continue to be used.

Gelöst wird dieses Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs.This object is achieved by the features of the patent claim.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung beispielhaft beschrieben.The invention is described below by way of example.

Das Fahrradbremslicht, nachfolgend auch Fbl genannt, hat den Zweck, beim Bremsen mit der Lenkerbremse dem nachfolgenden Verkehr, wie beim Auto ein Warnsignal durch Aufleuchten des Bremslichtes zu geben. Das Fbl setzt sich wie folgt zusammen: Eine Beleuchtungseinheit mit Batteriefach zur Aufnahme einer 9 V Batterie. Zwei Bremsbackenklammern, die variabel auf die Bremsbacken einstellbar sind. Zwei Kontaktgeber, die an den Bremsbackenklammern befestigt werden. Diverse Lichtkabel.The bicycle brake light, hereinafter also called Fbl, has the purpose of braking with the handlebar brake to follow traffic, like a warning signal in a car Give the brake light come on. The Fbl is composed as follows: One Lighting unit with battery compartment to hold a 9 V battery. Two Brake shoe clamps that can be variably adjusted to the brake shoes. Two Contactors that are attached to the brake shoe clamps. Various light cables.

Die Beleuchtungseinheit beinhaltet eine 9 V-Birne mit Befestigungsmaterial und ein Batteriefach.The lighting unit includes a 9 V bulb with mounting hardware and a Battery compartment.

Die Bremsbackenklammern werden an den Fahrradbremsbacken mittels einer Befestigungsschraube angebracht.The brake shoe clamps are attached to the bicycle brake shoes using a Fastening screw attached.

Je ein Kontaktgeber wird an einer der Bremsbackenklammern befestigt. Die Kontakte werden mittels Federdruck beweglich gehalten. Die Kontaktgeber können rastermäßig auf die unterschiedlichen Abstände der Bremsen zur Felge eingestellt werden.One contactor is attached to one of the brake shoe clamps. The contacts are kept movable by spring pressure. The contactors can be rasterized the different distances of the brakes to the rim can be set.

Funktionsweise:Functionality:

Beim Betätigen der Bremse werden die Bremsbacken mit den Bremsbackenklammern und den Kontaktgebern auf die Felge zubewegt. Beim Kontakt mit der Felge wird der Stromkreislauf geschlossen und das Bremslicht leuchtet auf.When the brake is actuated, the brake shoes with the brake shoe clips and the contacts towards the rim. When contacting the rim, the Circuit closed and the brake light comes on.

Beim Loslassen der Bremse geht das Bremslicht wieder aus.When the brake is released, the brake light goes out again.
